It has been a month since the magazine came out. A month since Paris got 2 new permanent superheroes, a month since Adrien and Marinette started dating. 

Since then the four friends have been closer than ever. Alya still posted a lot of articles about the heroes of Paris but less about finding out who they really were. She still posted some articles about it, she didn't want her readers to think she abandoned it or found out and didn't tell them.

Nino was, with the help of Adrien and Marinette, slowly building up the courage to ask Alya out and Adrien and Marinette were counting the days to the next edition of the magazine to see the results. 

In the previous edition, Gabriel Agreste had asked the readers to say which designs they thought were the best to see if the audience liked Marinette's design or not. Finally, the day arrived and Marinette and Adrien had agreed to meet at the bookshop that opened the earliest in Paris to be able to buy the magazine. 

It seemed they were not the only ones who wanted to know the result because when they arrived at the store there was already a cue waiting. Some fangirl saw Adrien and Marinette arriving and let them go first if they could take a picture of them together. Marinette and Adrien didn't want to portrait their relationship so they refused, but when the manager of the store saw them he just gave them the magazine for free. 

Adrien wanted to pay but the manager refused so instead he put a great review on the social media to get more customers. With the new issue of the magazine, they ran to school hoping to still be in time for classes. Even by transforming they arrived 3 minutes late to class which earned them extra homework. So it was only during lunch that they had enough time to read the magazine. 

They skipped all the new designs and went straight to the results of the poll. Marinette, fearing the worst, couldn't watch so she asked Adrien to read what it said. "Wow" was the only thing he said. Marinette couldn't wait anymore so she took the magazine out of Adrien's hand and read it. At the end of the article, she was ready to faint.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng, surpassing Gabriel Agreste at only age 15

In the last edition of this magazine, Gabriel Agreste had introduced us to yet another young designer who wanted to make it in the fashion world. This was not the first time Mr Agreste had introduced a new designer. Every candidate was given the opportunity to show their designs in the magazine. At the end of the magazine, there would be a question to the readers: "What design did you prefer? Why do you think that design is better than the other?" With all the previous young designers Gabriel Agreste's designs had always had the majority of the votes. This week's poll is totally different, Marinette Dupain-Cheng has over 70% of the votes on her design making her the first candidate to ever beat the great Gabriel Agreste.

When many of the candidates were students in fashion, Marinette is a young college student who, in her free time, likes to make clothes for herself and her friends. Her clothing line is mostly based on the power couple, Ladybug and Chat Noir. In an interview with Gabriel Agreste, he told us that he has never seen someone with so many passion in her eyes and in her designs itself. "She reminds me of myself when I was young, I see a great future for her." He gave us a few of her drawings for her new line, LB and CN in street clothes. Like you can see there are a few LB inspired designs but most of her design are based on Chat Noir. it seems our new designer might have a weak spot for Paris' own black cat.

Next time in "The model": an exclusive interview with Marinette Dupain-Cheng about her designs and her divided love for Adrien Agreste and Chat Noir.

Adrien knew he had to lighten the mood, Marinette was ready to faint and he didn't want that to happen. He fake gasped and pretended to be broken. 

"Marinette, he said shocked, are you cheating on me with Chat Noir?" 

Alya and Nino burst out laughing. Marinette just looked at him not totally understanding, her brain seemed to have slowed down. When her brain had finally caught up her shocked face turned into a warm smile. "Silly cat," she said while gently slapping his arm. 

At the end of the day Marinette, Adrien, Alya and Nino went to Mari's house for games and movies, since knowing their other identities they had been even closer than before and tried to get together every Friday for a night of fun and talking about past battles. They had a rule not to talk about their other personalities at school in fear of anyone listening in. 

Their Friday nights getups also gave the kwamis time together since they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Marinette had made a little corner for the kwamis where there were small sofas and enough food to even get Plagg full. For the four friends Marinette had also bought and made many snacks, she knew Adrien was on a strict diet but on Friday he didn't care what he ate so she gave him everything he never tasted before or knew he loved. Marinette's parents were visiting Tom's mother so they had the whole house for themselves and more importantly, they could make all the noise they wanted. 

They started the night with some fun party-games like 'never have I ever' and 'truth or dare' since there were no more secrets between them they usually chose dare which resulted in Adrien and Marinette switching clothes, Nino to drink a whole bottle of coke in 3 minutes and Alya to post a post on the lady-blog about how awesome Carapace was. After the games, they always started or continued a movie marathon. Since last week they finished Harry Potter, this week they started to watch all the Avengers movies in chronological order.
